public delegate void FormViewUpdatedEventHandler(object sender, FormViewUpdatedEventArgs e);

Parameters

sender
Object

Remarks

The FormView control raises the ItemUpdated event when an Update button (a button with its CommandName property set to "Update") within the control is clicked, but after the FormView control updates the record. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as checking the results of an update operation, whenever this event occurs.

When you create a FormViewUpdatedEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event-handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.
